Ingredients

Equipment

• Baking sheet or oven-safe dish
• Large skillet
• Mixing bowls
• Sharp knife and cutting board
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Spatula or wooden spoon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
2. Prepare the black beans: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
3. Add the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
4. Layer the nachos: Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly on the baking sheet. Sprinkle half of the cooked black beans over the chips, then add a layer of chopped red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, and jalapeño slices if using.
5. Sprinkle one cup of shredded cheese over the layered ingredients. Repeat the layers with the remaining chips, black beans, veggies, and cheese.
6. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove the nachos from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Add sliced or mashed avocado and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
8. Serve immediately with optional sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For an extra smoky flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika to the bean mixture.

• Vegan option: Use dairy-free cheese and skip the sour cream or substitute with a cashew cream.
• Extra heat: Add more jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to spice things up.
• Crunch factor: Toss some roasted corn or sliced radishes on top for added texture.
• Protein boost: Add cooked lentils or crumbled tofu seasoned with taco spices.
• Serving size: This recipe makes about 4 generous servings but can be doubled easily for larger groups.
